Jane's Story

I Know most people have potato salad in the summer time, but my Mom would always have it on her Christmas Eve buffet. She would have cold cuts, crusty rolls, baked beans, Christmas cookies, and home made peanut brittle.
We all looked forward to the potato salad becauce it had been months since we had it, and it went so well with the buffet
I simply cannot stand potato salad with mustard (southern style) or made with miracle whip. Guess it's what you grew up with.

We just used Hellman's mayo, that is all my mom would use.
Now GW's mom and sisters on the other hand just use Miracle Whip.
It's a personal thing, but I really dislike Miracle Whip, guess it's what you grew up with.

Joey Wolf8of10Dec 6, 2011I have found Miracle Whip gives me heartburn, Mayo does not. Ron uses the Miracle Whip (cuz that's what he likes) and I use Mayo...Helman's with Olive Oil ROCKS! We are having ham at Christmas, I suggested potato salad, but was shouted down by the elders who want cheesy potatoes. lol It's ok I will make potato salad for us! Saving your recipe Miss Jane!
